The initiation quantum yield in the bulk photopolymerization of vinyl monomers sensitized by 2,4‐dimethyl‐3‐pentanone has been measured for several monomers. The results obtained were interpreted in terms of a mechanism that considers singlet and triplet photocleavage of the ketone, competing with the quenching by the monomer. The quenching process does not lead to free radicals that can initiate the polymerization.
